Abstract

Since its first emergence in 2001, Wikipedia had grown drastically to become
the fifth most viewed website over the Internet in 2012. With over
12,000,000 articles in more than 250 languages this is now the largest
source of information ever existed. The Wikimedia foundation has been
founded in 2003 as a non-profit organization to support Wikipedia as well as
other online and offline free content projects.
